HAIR-DRESSING DEVICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 784,719, dated March 14, 1905.

Application filed .pril 11,1904. Serial No. 202,558.

To t whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JULIUS WARBURG, a citi- Zen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, city of New York, county of Kings,

and State of New York, have invented Imforming a part thereof or attached thereto,

such devices being applied to the hair in such manner that pompadour and other pufl' effects are produced by the hair being dressed over the rolls.

The object of this invention is the production of a device of this character having novel features of construction whereby the roll or puff forming device is adapted to be set in different positions relatively to the comb, and thus providing in one article a means for d ressing the hair in various styles.

Broadly, the invention consists in attaching the roll or puff forming device to the comb or to an arm or bracket extending from its back by means of a pivotal, swiveling, or hinged connection. In the preferred form it is proposed to so locate the pivotal or adjusting connection that the roll or puff forming device may be set parallel with the comb and in different angular positions relatively to the median line on or near which the connection is located. The device is therefore adapted to be used to produce straight pompadour effects and both right and left dip-puff effects.

An embodiment of myimproved adjustable comb is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, to which I will refer.

Figure 1 is a front view of a hair-dressing device having an adjustable roll or puff forming device. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is also a plan view showing the roll set in an angular position, and Fig. 4: is a central section of the comb.

The comb a is of ordinary construction and, like the combs of pompadour hair-dressing devices, is longitudinally curved. The preferred arrangement of the roll or pull forming device 0 relatively to the comb a is a position forward of the teeth of the comb. as shown at Figs. 2, 3, and 4, and above the comb, as shown at Figs. 1 and 4. This roll or puff forming device 0 relatively to the comb is centrally provided with a suitable horizontal swinging connection, which while sufficiently free to permit of the roll 0 to be set in different positions will be tight enough to hold the roll 0 in any of the set positions. This connection may be of any suitable character. It is shown as an eyelet (Z, which passes through the under side of the roll 0 and through the end of the bracket-piece 5, thus acting to hold the parts together and as a pivotal connection between the roll 0 and the comb a. This bracket 5 is preferably provided with two branches, which extend from the roll cto the back of the comb a, and to which their ends are connected by cement or other suitable means. This arrangement imparts rigidity to the bracket-support for the roll, and the bracket is bent upwardly from thc'back of the comb a and extends forwardly above the teeth, thus permitting the teeth to be freely inserted in the hair and holding the roll 0 in suitable position above and in front of the comb a.

In the plan view Fig. 3 the roll 0 is shown set as a left-side dip-puff forming device. From this position it may be set to occupy all angular positions to parallelism with the comb, as shown at Fig. 2, and from this parallel position it may be set toward the other end of the comb in all angular directions, in one of which it is represented by the dotted lines 0'. The said device is entirely covered by the hair when in use, as are the ordinary rats or rolls whichare used for producing pompadour and similar effects.

It will be observed that to impart to the I roll adaptability to be set in all angular directions relatively to the comb by a single pivotal connection the said connection should be about in or on a median line of the comb; but it is evident that substantially similar re- 2. A hair-dressing device, comprising a comb, a roll or pufl forming device, means for a holding said device above and in front of the teeth of the comb, and a central pivotal connection, so connecting the comb and roll or puif forming device together, whereby the roll or pufl' forming device may be set parallel with the comb and at various angles thereto, the arrangement being such that as either end approaches the comb the other end recedes from the comb.

3. In a hair-dressing device the combination of a comb, a bracket secured to the back of the comb and extending over and beyond its teeth, and a roll or pufi' forming device pivotally connected at its central part to the end of the bracket, whereby the comb and roll or pufl' forming device are adapted to be set in different angular positions relatively to one another.

4. In a hair-dressing device, the combination of a longitudinally-curved comb, an angular bracket secured at two places to the back of the comb and extending over andbeyond the teeth, and a longitudinally-curved roll or puff forming device pivotally connected at its central part to the end of the bracket, whereby the comb and roll or puff forming device are adapted to be set in different angular positions relatively to one another.

5. A pompadour-comb com prisinga curved toothed portion and a correspondingly-curved pufi' forming portion pivotally connected therewith and provided With means for holding its middle puff-forming portion away from the toothed portion, for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name this 6th day of April, 1904.-

JULIUS WARBURG.
